A Malaysia trip lunch: dry wanton mee with char siew and wontons in soup, plus a hot honey lemon. RM$11.90+.
A lunch stop across the border on our Malaysia trip: dry wanton mee with char siew (RM$8.30+) and a hot honey lemon (RM$3.60+). 😋
What we had (RM$11.90+, around SGD$4.20):
- Dry wanton mee: egg noodles in dark sauce with char siew slices and greens, with wontons in soup on the side
- A hot honey lemon
The Malaysian version of wanton mee leans closer to the Hong Kong original, and it was lovely. The thin egg noodles came tossed dry in a dark, savoury sauce, springy and glossy, topped with slices of char siew (less aggressively sweet than ours) and a stalk of greens.
On the side, a bowl of wontons in clear soup, the dumplings smooth and pork-filled in a clean, light broth, just the thing to sip between mouthfuls of the saucy noodles. To drink, a hot honey lemon, a cup of warm water with lemon slices and honey, soothing and citrusy, cutting nicely through the rich noodles.
At around SGD$4.20 for the noodles, wontons and a drink, it was lovely value, the kind of cheap, satisfying bite that makes a Malaysia food run so worth it.
Overall: 4.6 / 5. 😋👍🏼 Springy dry wanton mee with char siew and soup wontons, with a soothing honey lemon. Would re-visit.
